"Many serious real world golfers use a new sleeve of balls (3 balls) just to play 18 holes. All the balls left at the end of the 18 holes become practice balls and don't get used for a scored match ever again.
So from that perspective - WGT ball are cheap, and last on hell of a
long time if they are't hit OB, in the weeds, or in the water."
Sorry, but I have never heard such rubbish in my life. You are on the payroll of wgt or you have garage full of golf balls
